You refuse to read and take the most superficial takes. Went away for a short vacation and came back to see that the stupidity of the MAGA element on this site is extreme.


TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — As Florida continues to be one of the fastest growing states in the country, more people are leaving the state than ever before — especially workers, according to a new report from the Florida Chamber Foundation.

The 2024 Florida Migration Trends Report showed that while 637,000 people moved to Florida from other states in 2023, the state also lost 511,000 — its largest outflow of residents ever. Florida saw more people leave than any state except for California.


Well fortunately, they added another 400k+ internationally.

In the end, you added almost a half a million people. But ya, let’s hear about the “outflow”.

- “the streets were empty!!”

- “the schools were closed for 2 years!”

Forget it….

Stupidity? I guess you didn't get any smarter while on vacation. A very strange hill to die on.

One of the fastest growing states in the country. That’s why you have busier highways now.

Big outflow, lol

Slingshot odds

Saw that we were the 10th most likely team to get upset in the first round in the Slingshot model. Made me nervous for a bit but then I read more.

Slingshot only covers 1-6 seeds, so 24* matchups.

1-3 seeds hardly ever go down in the first round. None of them are in the top 10, which is quite understandable.

There are 14 4-6 seed matchups they evaluated (two matchups each for each of the play-ins) and the worst one of our matchups (Xavier) has a 26.9% chance of an upset, which ranks 10th most likely of 14.

For comparison, Purdue has a 28.9% chance of losing a 4/13 game in their model.

That’s really not so bad. I’d sign up for a 3/4 chance of making the second round.

*Actually 28 because of play-in pairs.

2021- top 5% of earners — people with incomes $252,840 and above — collectively paid over $1.4 trillion in income taxes, or about 66% of the national total. If you include the top 10% — everyone who made at least $169,800 — that figure rises to $1.7 trillion, or 76% of the total.

Not enough. Successful people should give more money to the govt that is extremely wasteful with their spending.

Forget it….

Tax revenues generally increased in the years since the so-called Trump Tax cuts took effect, I think tax revenues for the 2023 tax year were 34% higher than for the 2017 fiscal year, which some quick math tells me is about 4% nominal annual growth, and that period includes the whole pandemic mess. So to date I'd argue that those tax cuts payed for themselves, no "burden" was shifted to "the poor" in them.

Forget it….

So 60% of people pay 100% of the federal income taxes?

I leased 2 GMC SUV's about 6 years ago.

When I finally looked at the window stickers that the dealer had scraped off and put in the glove box, I found both cars had been built in China !

I mentioned that to the guy I use for all my family cars, that I no longer wanted to get cars from China !

About 3 years ago, I had to replace the China cars and reminded Chris of my China no go !

He said, " NO problem ! "

I looked after about 2 weeks and found both SUV's were from South Korea !

One of the SUV's were struck by a deer around X-Mass and the front bumper needed replacement !
Since Dec 25th or so, that car has been in the body shop WAITING for the bumper !
It is alleged to be here March 19 th !

Let's see:

Want government cuts done rationally. Likely some of DOGE cuts are illegal.
Believe in a pathway for Dreamers.
Want Trump tax cuts to expire.
Want an end to Ukraine war.
Not a fan of sanctuary cities.
Not a fan of high inflation. Did not vote in 2016.
Would keep birthright citizenship.

You are at least partially correct on 3 of your list. Pretty good for you.


Want government cuts done rationally. Likely some of DOGE cuts are illegal. (Democrats don't want ANY cuts)
Believe in a pathway for Dreamers. (Democrats imported MILLIONS of ILLEGALS)
Want Trump tax cuts to expire. (Democrats KEPT Trump tax cuts)
Want an end to Ukraine war. (Democrats want NEVERENDING war)
Not a fan of sanctuary cities. (Democrats LOVE sanctuary cities)
Not a fan of high inflation. Did not vote in 2016. (Democrats created HIGH inflation and YOU voted for MORE of it in 2024)
Would keep birthright citizenship. (Democrats WANT birth tourism)

So, you are with Trump on 1, 4, 5, 6
You are with Democrats on 2 and 7
Democrats are with Trump on 3 when they are in power and against Trump on 3 when he is in power.

Why again did you vote for Democrats? Why do you hate the man who is cutting government, creating peace where there is massive death, ending sanctuary cities, and defeating high inflation?

Big 10 basketball

So it’s been 25 years since a B10 team has won the national title. A few have made nice runs (Wiscy, Purdue, Illinois) but no cigar at the end. So is it the style of play in the conference, the coaching, recruiting, bad luck, a combination of two or more? In the 80’s and 90’s I thought the B10 was the best basketball conference in the country - not close anymore.
